The solicitation covers school zone flashing beacons to be delivered to MoDOT Signals facilities in Sikeston and Willow Springs, Missouri, specifically targeting jurisdictions including Johnson County and St. Charles County.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. MoboTrex, Inc. is identified as both the incumbent and the sole source vendor for this contract. The existing infrastructure requires cellular data services that must interface with current and future purchases, which may be purchased annually.

The contract will be awarded on a Free On Board Destination basis with Net 30 payment terms. The procurement follows Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020 for single feasible source determinations, and the cellular data and school zone flashing beacons will be procured to maintain system compatibility and warranty requirements for MoDOT's existing infrastructure.
